Personally, I don't believe they're going anywhere this season. They could have won both games with a combined score of 100-0 or lost 100-0 and it wouldn't have changed anything. I doubt the opinions of many others have changed.

 

However, you have to admit -- if you're an optimistic type of person -- that back to back starts such as we've seen with Buehrle and Vazquez cannot happen EVER if we're going to compete. We need consistency out of those two considering the starters who fall behind them. One can fall, but both falling -- and in a limited amount of innings -- is unacceptable.

 

 

Nice post!

People can hate Uribe all they want and he did fan 3 times in the opener, but he's been seeing as many pitches per at bat as anyone else. I think he will have a good year.

Half those are swings and misses at pitches a foot out of the zone though.

 

Same old same old.

After two games, I am amazed at how much of a better team the Indians arethan the White Sox.

 

On another none, where is our Fausto Carmona? And where was Fausto Carmona when the Indians needed him to close out the ALCS?

You got struck out by a hot dawg eater, huheehyuh!

Swish Ks swinging at a 58 footer.

Swisher for a selective hitter has gone after some awful pitches tonight.

Heh. Wild pitch on a K and Uribe's cemented to 1st base.

 

 

OC coming through with the nice shot up the middle. let's atleast score 3 or 4 runs tonight.

This Carmona would have no lasted 4 innings against the Red Sox. He had no control tonight, but we didn't let him implode.

Another DP JT?

Yeah, a single on a pitch at shoulder level in the 8th inning of a 6-1 ball game after looking terrible in his first two at-bats changes everything.

The thing is, I don't think the Indians offense is very good. Sizemore's a stud, but besides him, it's nothing amazing. Hafner really sucks now. The Indians have the two aces at the top though. I still think the Tigers are far and away the best team in this division.

But he can dominate our softball lineup, which highlights why the Indians are so much better of a team.

Well, duh! It just infuriates me so much to think that we can up most of our farm system this offseason, spent a lot of money on relievers, sent down Fields for Crede....and we're still a bad team.

Well... all of Jim Thome's home runs this year are off lefties...

The Indians don't have any stud hitters, but they have a lot of good scrappy type hitters. That said, I would wager the Indians win the Division by 3+ games over the Tigers.

Looking forward to tomorrow's lineup....and it better include BA, CQ and Pablo.....

Another DP JT?

Thome is a guy who surprisingly has not bounced into a lot of DPs in his career. Only 4 years did he do it in double figures. 10 two times, 11 one time and his career high is 13.

 

Farmer always wants the home run...

Cleveland fans chanting "You're a traitor" to Thome. Classy bunch.

I think it would include at least 2 of them.

were not a bad team, that's where your wrong.

The team on the field right now may not be playing well, but I think this team, as constructed, is significantly better than "Bad".

Thome !! Do me well ;)
